For Birth Control My pharmacy replaced Sprintec (the best birth control) with estarylla because they said it was the same formula. I have been on it for about 10 months now and I gained 10 pounds. After reading reviews, I realized it has made me moodier and made my anxiety worse. But hey I never got pregnant... If you have any sort of anxiety/depression, this is not the pill for you. I just got prescribed a lower dose of birth control called Lo Loestrin Fe, so we will see how that goes

For Birth Control I've been taking this medication for nearly two weeks. I've become an emotional mess when I'm usually laid back and down to earth. I remember taking sprintec around 5 months ago and I don't remember feeling this way. The nurse said it was the same as sprintec, just a generic brand. I've become increasingly paranoid, anxious, irate, and i've been having really dark thoughts. I don't even feel like talking to my significant other anymore. only good thing is that it prevents pregnancy. everyone's experience is different but mine has been far from good

For Birth Control I used Nexplanon for about 10 months and got it removed. While on this method, I had bleeding for months straight with little breaks. I tried to wait it out to see if my body would eventually adjust but my period never got itself to be on a cycle. It got to the point where it wasn't worth it because even when I did have sex, I had bleeding/spotting so it took away my sexual confidence. It definitely was effective and did its job but the side effects were getting in the way of my life as well as my wallet as I was always at the store buying tampons and pads (and we know how expensive this can be). I decided to get the implant removed which was a bit of a difficult experience as well. Nexplanon is effective but still needs improvement.

For Birth Control I got this birthcontrol twice, and let me tell you... SWITCH YOUR BIRTHCONTROL AFTER THE FIRST TIME. First time was in 2012-2015; first time experience was great, no period, no cramps, weight gain or weird pains, I couldn't even feel it. I developed horrible acne but I got it under control and I got crazy of-the-wall mood swings that I didn't realize I developed. 100% effective with me, times where I should have gotten pregnant it never happened not even a scare.
Second time has been absolutely horrible. Mood swings went crazy, I got depression and anger issues. irregular periods that would come and go when ever it pleased shortest one lasted about a week and a half. Needless to say I got it removed not even a yr into it.
